What you'll do

As a generalist engineer, you're willing to take risks, iterate and make your own path. You will have a say in every decision made at Dots and drive the change you want to see. You're excited by our vision to revolutionize money movement , eager to contribute to it, and energized by our ambiguity. You're ready to write a lot of code, and comfortable throwing a lot of that out as we test and iterate, especially since you'll be an integral part of driving that iteration. You're happy working in an fluid environment, and eager to create the structure it lacks.

What you'll bring

  • You have a strong technical background (No minimum work experience required but a history of excellent projects is recommended)
  • You enjoy delivering beautiful and polished front-end experiences in React, but you also know how to write an API (Python)
  • You are willing to design scrappy systems. We'll have to refactor code as we scale, but we still want to build on good fundamentals
  • You have a willingness to learn and have fun!
